Maybe the pictures are still off but I am surprised you didn't do an 09 VDB and there's no Memorial either?
Beautiful coins though, especially the Flying Eagle and the early Indians!

Thanks, KenKat! For Lincoln Memorial, I have a 1959 D in a PCGS MS(65) RD holder. I like it. It's not expensive or even scarce, but it represents its type well! The 1857 Flying Eagle one I like because it seems very original, but is a bit weak in the luster department. I don't mind the somewhat weak strike, but I may be willing to upgrade that one for another example with the same date and a bit more luster. For the Indian Head cents, I think I got lucky. I love the strange "blueberry" toning on my 1899 one, and I think it is also a scarce variety that PCGS does not attribute (Repunched date Snow-7). The 1859 is the last cent I had to collect to finish this set. I snatched it because the price was right and it seemed quite strong for its grade. It also matches the other two Indian Head cents perfectly with regard to the grade :). For the Lincoln (Wheat) cents, I did not differentiate VDB as its own type--should I? I have a common 1919 one in a PCGS MS(63) RB holder, which I like--especially with its unique and irregular toning pattern. Edited by Adam590

@Slerk, this surprises me--for me it looks correct. I did edit the post a few times to make sure I got the correct pictures. I don't know what happened here so that you don't see the updated pictures. Trying clearing your cache or reloading the page with CTRL-F5 to force the images to re-dowload and see if they are still correct for you. I am still seeing the Seated Liberty obverse.  |

if it were me I would grab the rest of the life of Lincoln cents. they are fairly inexpensive and have distinct designs.

Thanks, @CarrsCoins. Which ones? The 1909 VDB? What are the others? As of now, I only have Lincoln Wheat, Lincoln Steel, Lincoln Memorial, Lincoln Bicentennial, and Lincoln Shield.
@jbuck, I am still seeing the correct coins. Is everyone else?

Nice set, especially the FE cent! Looks like it may possibly be 1857 with the obverse of 1856 (Snow-2, FS 401B). What is the designation on the holder?

@MisterT! Thanks! There is no designation on the holder. I just posted my 1899 IHC in the coin grading forum, asking if it is the repunched date Snow-7 variety, despite PCGS not designating anything. Is this Snow-2 variety a bit more scarce for this date? |

Adam, do a google search for the FS 401B. The serifs of the E's and the F look like a match to your coin and the bottom of the O on your coin looks squared. There is also a FS 401a which has a repunched date but I don't see that on your coin. Need a better expert than me to assess if your coin is in fact the obverse of 1856. That looks like a $700+ coin. Congrats!

Nice set. Like jbuck, I also see the picture of a Liberty Seated coin.
